"Master." The little slave who had been waiting outside the door for a long time knew that the master was asleep in the house, so he did not dare to make a sound. After waiting for a long time, he finally heard the sound in the house. Knowing that the person had woken up, he knocked on the door and called softly.

Hearing the sound outside the door, Fang Ziye stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows and responded, "Come in."

He slept until the sun set outside the window, and then he woke up. After waking up, his head was dizzy and he could not muster any energy.

Ershun led people to bring water in, and saw the master sitting on the bed in a daze, looking not in good spirits. He waved his hand to let the people following behind him go out, and he twisted a towel and handed it over to wipe the master's face, and picked up the hanging clothes to help the master put them on.

"Master, you slept for such a long time and just woke up. You must be hungry now. The kitchen has prepared a meal for you. I'll ask someone to bring it up. You can eat in your room." Ershun was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a round face, white and tender like a little bun. He was obedient to his master and served him wholeheartedly.

He had been with his master for several years and was now very methodical in doing things.

"Well, pass it on." Fang Ziye knew that he had not eaten for a day, so he had to eat something even if he had no appetite.

Ershun knew that his master had no appetite after just waking up. According to his master's usual taste, he asked the kitchen to prepare light meals and had them brought up. He placed them on the table one by one and put the bowls and chopsticks in front of his master.

Hearing that the eldest master had woken up, the shopkeepers Fang and Liu also went upstairs and stood by waiting.

The table was full of light dishes. He had no appetite for food recently. Holding chopsticks in his hand, Fang Ziye didn't want to pick up his chopsticks. "Master, what do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you." Ershun saw that the master was about to stop eating, and knew that the master didn't like these, so he asked hurriedly.

Fang Ziye waved his hands. He had no appetite for anything else, so there was no need to waste it.

There was a dish of pickled chili in the small plate. He picked up a little and ate it. It was sour and spicy. He thought it was delicious after one bite. He kept putting chopsticks into the dish. It was particularly suitable for his taste and immediately made him hungry. He ate two bowls of porridge with this small plate of pickled cabbage.

Ershun was serving on the side. When he saw his master eat two more pieces, he knew that his master liked this dish and he kept an eye on it.

His master's appetite was very poor recently. He was not in high spirits and did not eat much. It was not common for him to eat two bowls of porridge like today. He was happy to see that. When he saw that he had drunk two bowls of porridge, he asked, "Master, do you want more?"

"I'm full. I don't want to eat anymore." Fang Ziye put down his chopsticks. He basically did not touch the other food on the table. However, he almost finished a small bowl of spicy cabbage. His stomach was warm and his mood was a little better.

Ershun cleared all the food on the table and put tea on the table.

"Did Cao Xiangnan make this too?" Fang Ziye asked after taking a sip of the tea.

"To the boss, it was he who made it. He said it's called kimchi, and it's different from the pickled vegetables we used to eat. These kimchi are sour, spicy and crispy, and there are several different kinds. The last time I came, Manager Liu gave me two jars of it back. I gave some to the guests who came upstairs to eat to try, and those who tried it came back to ask me if I had any more. This time I ordered a batch from Master Cao, and Master Cao said it would be ready in a few days." When Manager Fang saw that the boss only ate the small bowl of spicy vegetable on the table, he knew that he liked it.

"Boss, there are still some in the store. I'll have someone pack them for you when you leave." Manager Liu couldn't hide it. He knew that Boss loved to eat it, and Manager Fang didn't have any left. He could only give all the kimchi in the store to Boss, and then ask Cao to send it back.

Ershun made a note of it, thinking that he must take all the kimchi in Manager Liu's store with him when he left.

"Where does he live?" Fang Ziye asked.

"He lives in Caojia Village, and the carriage will arrive in half an hour. He will come to the town to sell food during the day, and go back to Caojia Village after selling in the afternoon. His family has been building a house recently, so he has not been in the town much recently. I have sent someone to tell him to come to the town tomorrow."

Hearing that Cao Xiangnan had returned to Caojia Village, Fang Ziye also said "hmm". He met Cao Xiangnan today, and he was neither humble nor arrogant to him. He had a good impression of Cao Xiangnan. After a pause, he asked about Cao Xiangnan.

When he heard that Liu, the shopkeeper, had mentioned that Cao Xiangnan had come to discuss business with him with a cane, Fang Ziye smiled. He came to Fenshui from Nanyang just to see what kind of person this person is who made these delicacies, and he was not disappointed.

It was not difficult to hear from the words of the storekeeper Liu that he admired the boy. It was not like a country boy could make these fresh delicacies with so much thought. He was immediately curious about such a person.

After asking a few more questions, he had a preliminary understanding of such a person. From the words of the storekeeper Liu, he could also hear that the other party was a good person.

It happened that he had nothing to do recently and was free, so Fang Ziye was not in a hurry to leave. He thought about staying here for a few more days before leaving. Hearing that his family would be having a housewarming in three days, he asked the storekeeper Fang to prepare a gift.

Shopkeeper Fang was very happy, which meant that the master would stay here for a few days, so he could also join in the fun and sleep for a long time. Seeing that the weather outside was good, Fang Ziye took people out for a walk to see the town. Ershun followed his master to serve, and there was also a shopkeeper Liu leading the way, and a shopkeeper Fang accompanying him. There were also two guards behind them, and the group walked to the Fenshui River.

At this time, the school was over, and Aning went to take the children home. Along the way, the children talked to him, asking about the teacher who taught them in the school and the new friends they met. Aning knew that the children liked to go to school and liked to meet new friends. He listened to the children carefully and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Since they moved to the small courtyard behind the shop, their lives have changed a lot.

He followed Cao Xiangnan's advice and sent the child to school, thinking that the child liked going to school. He worked in the shop and had a fixed income every month. He didn't have to worry about not having enough money to feed the child or not having enough money to pay the rent for the house. In the more than a year he had been with the child, he had experienced all kinds of hardships in the world. Now they can finally live a stable day.

Before going to pick up the child, Aning had already cooked the meal, the soup in the pot was hot, and the meat that the child liked was stewed. He was waiting for the child to come back so that he could eat. There was a small door in the backyard for their convenience. After closing the door in front, Aning would always go in through the back door with the child. "Mom cooked the meat that Xuanxuan likes to eat." Aning held the child's hand, feeling warm in his heart, remembering how small the child was when he was in her arms, and how the meat had grown to his waist now.

"Great, Xuanxuan loves Mom the most." Xuanxuan was particularly happy when he heard that there was meat to eat.

Turning a corner, Aning took the child into the alley on the side. The father and son walked past, and the figures of one big and one small disappeared at the intersection. A group of people came over, Fang Ziye turned around, and his eyes swept across. There was no one in that direction.

After unlocking the door and pushing it open, Aning took the child in.

The carriage returned to Caojia Village, and Cao Xiangnan was busy with things at home.

The floor of the house has been paved with bricks, and the interior is basically finished. Today, the master from the town brought people to install the window leaves and door panels. He happened to be away from home today, so he asked Master Feng to help. When he came back, they were basically installed.

Cao Xiangnan checked inside and outside, and asked the master to fix any minor problems in time. After solving a few minor problems, there were basically no more problems.

The furniture ordered in the town was also completed on the agreed time, and it will be delivered tomorrow. The date is the day after tomorrow to move in, so the time at home is relatively tight, but it is just right. They will move into the new house first, and the rest of the work will be done later, so there is no rush.

Just as his house was finished, Cao Gang's house was about to be built opposite his house. The date was already set, and they just had to wait for the construction to start in a few days. By then, his house would also be finished. Cao Xiangnan had been discussing his house with Master Feng and Cao Gang these days. Cao Gang just said, "It's up to you."

He was speechless and asked Sun Bailian, who also said, "I listen to my husband." So he decided to leave it to him. Fortunately, his family's Wanfeng was kind and would comfort his injured heart.

The two families were close and had a good relationship with each other.

Of course, he also had a good relationship with Sun Ji and Cao Dapeng. Cao Xiangnan knew that if it weren't for these people, he wouldn't be where he is today.

"Excuse me, Brother Cao Gang." Cao Gang helped him send his master and the apprentice who came to work with him back. Cao Xiangnan watched the carriage go away from behind.

The family was busy until the sun went down. The last bit of cloud in the sky disappeared in the mountains, and it was getting dark. Now that the weather is hot, the little ones can just take a cool bath. The water in the water tank is still warm after being exposed to the sun. Cao Xiangnan directly poured it into the basin for the little ones to bathe, and there was no need to worry about them.

"These two rabbits have grown so big in the blink of an eye." Cao Xiangnan followed behind his family's evening breeze and saw the two rabbits tied in the corner. He said with emotion.

"Yeah, that's right." Qi Wanfeng closed the door of the chicken coop, turned around and saw her husband standing by, with a gentle smile in his eyes. There were several children laughing beside him. Cao Xiangnan glanced at the noisy children and said, "We will move to the new house in two days. The house will be much bigger by then."

"Yeah." Qi Wanfeng responded softly.

"I have to go to the town again tomorrow. There may be something going on in Yipinzhai." Cao Xiangnan told Qi Wanfeng about the person he met today. In the afternoon, Liu, the shopkeeper, asked someone to come and tell him to go to Yipinzhai again tomorrow. He knew that it was probably that person who wanted to see him. He also had some ideas in his mind. Since the opportunity was sent to him, he had to seize it.

Qi Wanfeng listened quietly. No matter what her husband wanted to do, he would support him from behind. Their house had been built. When the time came, he could go to the town to help her husband, and he wouldn't have to watch her work so hard.

It was dark, and the lights in the house were blown out. The day ended like this, waiting for the next dawn.
